Girly, Preppy and Polka Dots
Girly, Preppy and Polka Dots by frecklegrrl featuring a long sleeve cardigan
What's your style?
The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to clean out your closet, reconsider your style and shop the post-Christmas sales for a new piece - or two - for your wardrobe. Whether you're a style newbie or a tried-and-true fashion blogger, everyone could use a little revitalization into your closet during the new year. In the spirit of all things new, I've started to reconsider my style and have compiled a list of things I hope to add to my wardrobe in the coming months.
My style, up until this point, has been - in one word - basic. I have always loved fashion and I have a very different eye when picking clothes for others than picking clothes for myself. Part of the reasoning behind this is because I lack a bit of self-confidence needed to rock the pieces I fall in love with for others, and part of the reasoning is because I have always been a little overweight, so pieces I love on others would not necessarily look that great on me.
This year, as I take hold of my health and lose the excess weight I've been holding onto throughout my adolescence, I will be reconsidering my wardrobe and my own personal style. I've always loved the girly/preppy aesthetic and I think it's what I want to channel in my wardrobe.
Some of the pieces I hope to add to my closet in the next few months are:
10. Florals, lots and lots of florals.
9. Tory Burch flats
8. Diamond-or faux diamond- studs
7. Polka dots, polka dots, polka dots!
6. Cardigans
5. Hunter rain boots
4. Longchamp Tote
3. Metallic coach clutch
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats
1. Pearl Earrings

Girly on the Couch
Girly by frecklegrrl featuring post earrings
A cute outfit to brighten up gray winter days is the perfect answer to post-Christmas blues. I've been quarantined to the couch the past few days as I recover from wisdom teeth extraction, but that hasn't stopped me from checking out all the fabulous online sales that are going on! Sadly for me, this means a lot of window shopping since I'm a broke college student, but looking doesn't cost anything!
Being on the couch has also given me a lot of time to finish "required reading" - the January issues of all my favorite fashion magazines, the Teen Vogue Fashion Handbook (for only about the hundredth time) and a few other scattered fashion books - and watch some amazing fashion documentaries - The September Issue (again...and again...and again), Bill Cunningham New York, Fashion in Film and whatever else I can scrounge up on Netflix to get my fashion fix. I've also been surfing the web for new blogs to follow, read and fall in love with - and I have to say, there is no shortage of fresh talent out in the blogosphere.
What are you favorite fashion books, magazines, blogs and documentaries? Fill me in!

What I Will Be Wearing this New Years Eve
What I Will Be Wearing... by frecklegrrl featuring pearl earrings
As I sit at home this New Years, with my Jello and my Ice, I will be wearing this fabulous, casual outfit while spending some time with friends while we watch the ball drop on TV and dream about the fabulous time NYE will bring in just a few years.
What are your plans for NYE?

Recovery
Recovery by frecklegrrl featuring cream shoes
A few hours ago, I had my wisdom teeth removed (all four of them) and now am in recovery-mode. Luckily, I don't remember the surgery and so far, have no pain or discomfort - KNOCK ON WOOD! I'm just a little out of it and can't talk, so I'm communicating through notepads and white boards while I have gauze and cotton stuffed in my mouth. Oh, and I can only eat (or I guess, drink) liquids for the next two to four days.
While I'm in the recovery-mode, this is an example of what I'll be wearing for the next couple days. A cute noodie (no hood hoodie - aka a sweatshirt), some comfy leggings and slippers. So exciting, eh?

Christmas Break Uniform
Christmas Break Uniform by frecklegrrl featuring suede heel boots
Now that Christmas is over, I have three weeks and six days left of break before I start my next adventure. Besides work and online classes, I plan on spending all of this time with my friends and family exploring the city and doing whatever floats my fancy...as well as (hopefully) a Chicago getaway weekend with my friends Britt and Joel.
This outfit is very similar to what I'm planning on living in the next few weeks... the comfort of jeans and a cozy sweater with cute boots and my pearls. Sounds perfect to me!

Dressing for Christmas, Part V
Dressing for Christmas, Part V by frecklegrrl featuring pearl earrings
The fifth part of dressing for Christmas in my family is for the "day after" - also known as the third day in our Christmas extravaganza tradition.
It is the second most casual event in our three-day extravaganza, where the maternal side of my family and my mother's friends and their children gather at my parents' house in the afternoon and evening for a gift exchange, dinner and cocktails.
It requires cords (or nice jeans - if those exist, haha) and a sweater - ballet flats and pearls top it off as the perfect casual accessories. This outfit is comfortable. cute and (of course) picture perfect!

Dressing for Christmas, Part IV
Dressing for Christmas, Part IV by frecklegrrl featuring pearl bangles
The second most formal part of Christmas, Christmas night is a time where all my parent's friends and their children gather at my parents' house for appetizers, cocktails and celebration.
It calls for a cocktail dress, pearls and heels, since most evening celebrations are more formal than day ones. It must be comfortable and easy to move in, while still being a statement dress, because being a hostess is a lot of work!
